Although there were less than 300 participants, almost every one of them was a heavyweight, including but not limited to the country's top leaders such as the president, the secretary of defense and his senior generals, and the real major shareholders and owners behind the top military manufacturers.

Some of them came here urgently by plane under the guise of attending the UN General Assembly, while others announced that they came to attend a military forum.

The most important thing is that the entire itinerary was kept secret, and there was not a single annoying reporter present.

The appearance of these heavyweights was all for one person, that is Zuo Si, who was enjoying the food as if nothing had happened.

In just less than half an hour, he had become familiar with the most powerful group on the planet, answered some questions that the other party was concerned about, and also received a lot of gifts.

According to the more official statement, all exchanges were conducted in a cordial and friendly atmosphere.

The superb skills displayed by Zuo Si during the conversation even made many people ignore his identity as a dimensional demon god, and instead regarded him as an excellent politician who was well-educated and very knowledgeable about social etiquette.

His ability to handle any situation or problem with ease and a smile shocked Nick Fury, who had conducted a personality analysis and psychological profile on him.

Because this is completely different from what is described in the report.

He couldn't even figure out which one was Zuo Si's true self and which one was his disguise, or whether it was simply a dual personality or even multiple personalities.

After all, SHIELD knows too little about the dimensional demon and has no information to refer to or compare.

And the only Sorcerer Supreme on Earth who understands the Dimensional Demon God, Ancient One, is not willing to cooperate with him at all.

"My dear master, what do you think about me releasing a group suggestion magic on these politicians now, and then directly controlling them to become the queen of this planet?" Igvirv suddenly came close and whispered in his ear.

Apparently, after attending the movie premiere and gaining a huge number of admirers, the witch queen also came to the banquet through teleportation magic.

Of course, the senior executives present could not be unaware of her true identity and her recent actions.

It's just that no one cares.

Don't be fooled by the fact that celebrity idols all have glamorous appearances and large fan bases, and it seems that a single call can create a huge social impact, but in fact, all of this is just an illusion.

Except for a very small number of people who have completed class transition, most of them are just tools to make money and export values ​​and ideologies.

Once the capital behind it uses media hegemony, it can bring him down from the altar in minutes, turning him from a popular star idol into a despised garbage by everyone.

Zuo Si obviously felt the power of faith surrounding Igwirfu's body, and responded calmly: "I advise you not to do this.

Not to mention that I have reached an agreement with the Supreme Sorcerer Ancient One, just concentrating power is not an easy task.

I don't think that with your chaotic and disorganized style of doing things, you can sort out the complex political structures of countries on the earth.

Moreover, do you think that even if you control all the countries on this planet, you can enjoy the happiness brought by power? No! You will have to deal with endless invasions and threats next.

So ruling this planet is a completely thankless task.

It is better to maintain a semi-protective, semi-cooperative relationship, let the world grow wildly, and see what it will eventually become. "

"So you don't mind if I have a little fun, do you?"

As he said this, Igwilfu turned his gaze towards Alexander Pierce not far away, and a hint of imperceptible cruelty flashed in his eyes.

"Of course I don't mind. There are all kinds of forces hidden on this planet. One more or one less of you won't make a difference. Even if you bring the Balor Flame Demon here, it will only add a more troublesome potential danger."

Zuo Si gave an affirmative answer with an indifferent look on his face.

As a great devil and holder of the abyss fragment, he could smell the devilish scent emanating from this North American snake head from a distance.

But this is obviously not a big deal.

After all, there are already Skrulls, Inhumans, Eternals, Deviants, the god Tiamu who sleeps deep in the earth, the Dark Book compiled by the god of the underworld Sithon, and the scarlet witch Wanda who uses chaos magic on Earth. It won't be long before Thor, the god of thunder from Asgard, and his half-brother Loki will also come...

In addition, external forces such as the Kree, the Chitauri Army, and Thanos and the Dark Elves behind them take turns to appear.

In the face of such a vibrant and flourishing scene, a combination of Hydra and the devil may not even be a minor concern.

Upon hearing this, Igwirfu immediately revealed a charming smile, and in a very ambiguous manner, he whispered in Zuo Si's ear: "Thank you for your generosity and kindness. Now I can finally let go and have fun."

"Be careful, don't make too much noise, at least not before the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One dies."

Zuo Si issued a warning in a slightly serious tone.

There's nothing we can do about it, since the people in the Chaos Camp all look like they want the world to be in chaos.

It's simply a daydream to expect these guys to stay like the lawful camp.

Zuo Si didn't have any good solution for this. He could only allow them to have some fun within a certain range to prevent them from secretly planning any big moves.

However, there are differences even though they are both in the chaos camp.

People like Sarevok and the vampire queen Badi are relatively calm and rational. They can control their emotions well and won't lose control easily.

Igwilfu and Pyromancer Alena are extremely dangerous examples of the insane type.

Once they get excited, they cannot control themselves at all. They will release their chaotic nature like a madman and do whatever they want without restraint. Even death can't retreat them.

"Please rest assured. I have finally obtained such an interesting toy. Of course I must cherish it and will never damage it easily. Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that Nick Fury has found the plane that crashed in the Arctic, and also recovered Captain America and the Cosmic Cube that had been frozen for seventy years."

After saying that, Igvirf licked his lips with his tongue, a creepy light flashing in his pupils, then he turned around and turned into a phantom and disappeared from everyone's sight.

Needless to say, the famous Hydra organization is nothing more than a chess piece that can be manipulated and played with at will in the eyes of this "Witch Queen".

Poor Alexander Pierce had no idea what would happen once his soul was completely twisted into a demon and Igvirf revealed his identity as the Lord of the Abyss.

Just when Zuo Si was considering whether to take the time to take a look at the space gem, he suddenly saw a tall, middle-aged white man walking towards him.

A woman in a dress tried to block him.

The two of them entangled and dodged each other for more than 20 meters, then the man suddenly stopped and turned around, successfully shaking off the woman and walked closer, raised his glass to signal, then introduced himself with a smile.

"My name is Thaddeus E. Ross, and I am from the US military. It is a great honor to meet you, Your Excellency Soth. I happen to have a very valuable and promising research project on hand, and I wonder if you are interested."

"Oh? What is it?"

Zuo Si glanced at Maria Hill, who had just gotten up from the ground and was surrounded by several people not far away, with a playful smile on his face.

There is no doubt that General Ross was fully prepared for this meeting, and it is even possible that he had obtained the tacit approval of higher-level US military officials.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for so many people to be willing to come forward to help.

"I believe you must have heard of the Hulk? This monster created by gamma radiation not only has an almost invincible ability to withstand blows, but also never tires and has infinite strength.

Apart from being uncontrollable, he is simply the most perfect warrior.

I have a sample of his blood and a sample of the super soldier serum that was restored at that time. I hope to exchange them with you."

General Ross was obviously not a man who liked to beat around the bush, so he stated his purpose straight away.

Because he knew that Nick Fury would never give him too much time, so he had to race against time to make the deal.

"So you want the Astartes' transformation technology?"

Zuo Si effortlessly read the other person's thoughts and memories.

You have to know that although the success rate of Astartes transformation surgery from the Warhammer universe is not high, there are only a handful of people who can survive and complete nineteen (ordinary Astartes) or even twenty-one (Primaris Astartes) operations.

In addition, there will be a growth period after the transformation, which may last from eight to ten years at the least and up to twenty years.

But in terms of manufacturing cost, it is definitely much cheaper than making a second Captain America or Hulk.

The most important thing is that as a mature technology, its success rate is fixed.

That is to say, if you throw a thousand people in there, there will always be a small number that survive and become super soldiers with powerful strength, rather than all of them dying or creating another uncontrollable monster.

In addition, Astartes warriors do not age, and theoretically they can continue to be used as long as they do not die in battle.

This is undoubtedly very attractive to the military.

As for the mortality rate...

How could a country that used disabled soldiers to conduct psychological trauma research after the end of World War I, drove tanks to crush veterans demanding their wages on the streets of its capital, and ordered soldiers to enter nuclear explosion areas to observe the harm of radiation to the human body care about this?

Anyway, there are as many cannon fodder as needed.

As long as one offers the condition of serving in the military to obtain immigration qualifications, there will be many people signing up from all over the world.

Especially the lower-class civilians who are eager to escape war, crime and chaos will give everything they have for a place.

The military only needs to give these recruits some physical and obedience training, and then they can be taken for enhanced transformation.

The dead can be buried directly on the spot, and even salaries, insurance, compensation and promised immigration qualifications can all be saved, and the cost is so low that it is almost negligible.

Those who successfully survive and become super soldiers will naturally get everything they have ever dreamed of, and then gradually accept their new identities under the influence of the environment, becoming a trump card force in the hands of the military to deal with special situations.

General Ross nodded without hesitation: "That's right. But I'm not so greedy that I want to get the full set of transformation technology directly. I just hope to get some places and ensure that at least three to five people can survive."

"Okay, I accept your terms."

Zuo Si agreed very readily.

Because this was not difficult at all for him.

The success rate of Astartes transformation surgery is low? No problem! Various divine arts, potions and magical equipment can directly make the person who undergoes the transformation unable to die even if he wants to. Even if he dies suddenly by accident, he can be resurrected and pulled up to continue.

On the contrary, the blood of the Hulk is quite valuable for research.

I believe that the Blue Demon Judge Jinjitasha will be able to use it to create something interesting.

"Thank you very much. I'll send someone to deliver the things and the list to you later."

Having achieved his goal, General Ross immediately showed an expression of excitement and joy, and even his tone and attitude became more respectful.

Zuo Si smiled and shook his head: "Don't bother with that. For such a small matter, you can just go to Igwilfu or Balthazar. They will take care of everything."

Just when General Ross wanted to say something, he suddenly found that Maria Hill had broken free from the encirclement, and Nick Fury was walking towards him quickly on the other side.

Realizing that he didn't have much time left, he could only snort coldly, then sighed helplessly: "Alas - I'm very sorry, it seems I have to go. Those guys from SHIELD have become more and more arrogant since they got the authorization from the Security Council. Even us soldiers who are defending our country have been excluded and suppressed by them."

"Defending the country? Haha, General, are you serious?"

There was undisguised mockery in Zuo Si's eyes.

“Cough, cough, cough…”

Seeing that his lies and little tricks were exposed, General Ross's face immediately turned red. He did not dare to make any excuses and immediately turned around and fled the scene in shame.

As soon as he left, Maria Hill and Nick Fury arrived.

Director Lu Dan was especially wary of the entire U.S. military and asked in a low voice, "What did General Ross tell you just now?"

"Nothing. He used the information on the super soldier serum and the Hulk's blood that he had in his hands to exchange with me for a few Astartes Space Marine transformation quotas."

Zuo Si told the details of the transaction without hiding anything.

"Fuck! This guy finally succeeded!"

Nick Fury couldn't help but swear.

He knew very well that the military was definitely unwilling to sit idly by and watch S.H.I.E.L.D. grow in power, so they wanted to take this opportunity to gain some bargaining chips to fight against it.

Once the military has Astartes Space Marines, they can ensure that they will not become vassals in the game of power.

"Sir, can you cancel this transaction code? If General Ross gets what he wants, everything will become very troublesome." Maria Hill cautiously tested.

Zuo Si shook his head slightly: “Sorry, no.

Because a deal is a deal, once it is made it must be honored and completed.

What's more, what does your trouble have to do with me? I haven't violated any terms of the contract.

If you want to restrain General Ross, you can use soul currency to purchase the same number of Astartes transformation quotas and other value-added services.

As long as the amount of soul currency paid is sufficient, I can even guarantee a 100% success rate.

That is to say, even the two of you can gain great power and a body that will hardly age or die.

Sounds tempting, doesn’t it? ”

These words immediately made Nick Fury's mouth twitch uncontrollably twice, and then he couldn't help but complain: "Your behavior reminds me of those arms dealers who make money from war. They always hope to sell weapons to both sides of the war at the same time."

"But you and General Ross are not enemies. Instead, you are partners in the same camp, right?"

Zuo Si asked back with a smile.

"Yes, this is the most troublesome part."

Nick Fury stared at General Ross, who was raising his glass to protest against him not far away, with disgust, and he wished he could just rush over and strangle this annoying guy to death.

You have to know that he also had a hot temper when he was young, and he would never say a word unless he could take action.

But unfortunately, this idea can only exist in the mind and cannot assist actual action at all.

The reason why General Ross can call the shots in the military and political arena is not because he is so powerful, but because there is a powerful political interest group behind him.

Even if we succeed in overthrowing one General Ross, there will always be a second, third, and fourth General Ross standing up.

Compared to replacing him with a new guy whom he doesn't know at all, Nick Fury prefers to deal with this guy whom he has seen through.

At least General Ross is still following the rules of the game of power, and the threats he poses are basically controllable.

Thinking of this, Director Lu Dan's originally irritable heart quickly calmed down. He took out his mobile phone from his pocket and showed a picture: "This is the only thing I found in the SHIELD database that fits your description. The records and descriptions about it are very vague and confusing, like the ravings of a madman. Could you please explain what this thing is?"

"Its name is 'The Book of Darkness', and it contains almost all the dark magic. It is a powerful artifact that allows any reader to obtain the knowledge they want.

The only drawback, however, is that the spirit will be affected and corrupted, eventually becoming a madman or a servant and slave dominated by the Creator.

If you find this book please let me know as soon as possible.

Because the threat and destruction it can cause is not much less than Dormammu's previous invasion of the Earth, and may even be worse.

Finally, a reminder: never try to study things you don’t understand.

Otherwise the consequences could be very, very serious.”

After saying that, Zuo Si ignored the surprised and flustered expression on the other person's face and looked up at the electronic clock hanging high up.

"Sorry, it's time to go. Thank you for your hospitality."

"Where are you going?"

Maria Hill asked subconsciously.

Zuo Si responded in a half-joking tone: "I plan to go to Gotham to meet Batman Bruce Wayne and feel the chaos, distortion and evil of this city."

As the last word came out of his mouth, the spark on his chest suddenly burst into a dazzling bright light, and then his whole body turned into a ball of mystical fire and disappeared.

This is a special ability gained after becoming half of the Lord of the Dark Dimension. It can conceal the coordinates of the teleportation destination, making it impossible for anyone to track and locate it.

Looking at the fire that quickly dissipated in the air like a firefly, Nick Fury couldn't help but frown and asked, "Do you think he is joking or serious?"

"Well... I think it's mostly a joke. After all, both Batman and Gotham City are things in comics. Maybe he has read a few similar books in a roadside bookstore and wanted to show us his sense of humor." Maria Hill guessed in an uncertain tone.

"I hope so. We're in enough trouble already. And I'm sure he knows about the Tesseract and the alien artifact Coulson found in New Mexico."

As he said this, Nick Fury's already dark face became even darker.

You must know that in the latest backup plan, the Cosmic Cube is the last resort to restrain Zuo Si at the critical moment.

But now, the plan has been known to the other party before it could even be launched.

However, Director Ludan is obviously not someone who will give up easily.

Just the opposite.

He felt that the more dangerous they were, the more it showed the huge potential these two things had, and he should continue to study them until they became his trump card.

…

About a few hours later, in the New Mexico desert, SHIELD agents had expelled those ordinary people and set up a fully enclosed mobile laboratory around Thor's hammer to test this unknown object that no one could lift.

Unfortunately, this thing is obviously beyond the scope of human understanding at the current level of technology.

No matter what method I used, it didn't have any effect at all.

On the contrary, it was because of the thunder power released from the hammer from time to time that many equipment worth millions or even tens of millions of dollars were completely burned.

Seeing that conventional methods didn't work, Coulson, the person in charge on the scene, finally turned to the special consultant he had just called for help: "What do you think this strange hammer that fell from the sky is?"

"It's simple. It's a divine weapon."

Balthazar gave a straightforward answer.

"Artifact?"

Coulson repeated the word with his eyes wide open.

Balthazar nodded slightly: "Yes, the artifact.

As the name suggests, it is a weapon made by God.

First there were the materials, including a magical metal more powerful than anything I had ever seen, the core of a dead star, and a primordial storm with a self-awareness that rivaled the power of a god.

The second is the numerous magic spells bestowed upon it.

These magics are equivalent to the former conditions. Anyone who wants to lift or even use it must meet the corresponding conditions.

That's why no matter how hard you try you can't move it even an inch.

Congratulations, it looks like you are dealing with a real God this time.

I suggest you brush up on Norse mythology.

Because this hammer is very similar to the legendary Thor's hammer, Mjolnir."

"What?! Norse mythology? Thor?"

Hawkeye, who was passing by, was stunned when he heard this, his face full of shock and disbelief.

As a field agent working for SHIELD for so many years, he might believe in the existence of aliens, but he has always scoffed at those myths and legends.

"Believe it or not, I have already given you a suggestion. You should know that the power of this hammer is more terrifying than any weapon you currently have, including the cyclone torpedo that can destroy all life on a planet."

Balthazar gave his assessment of Mjolnir directly.

As one of the most well-known weapons in the Marvel Universe, Thor's hammer is not as simple as it seems.

Many people even think that it was crushed by the goddess of death Hela with her bare hands, so they think it is not as good as Stormbreaker.

But in fact, Mjolnir's origin is much greater than Stormbreaker.

Not only does it grant the user the ability to control storms, lightning, and weather, but it can also harm or even kill gods and destroy planets.

Especially the "Storm of the Gods" sealed inside, which is said to have power comparable to that of Odin.

So anyone who lifts Thor's hammer can gain the powerful storm force it bestows.

This is something that Stormbreaker, which can only enhance Thor's own divine power, does not have.

It is no wonder that even after he got Stormrage, Thor still couldn't forget his once favorite hammer.

"You mean we might be facing one or more gods in this mission?"

Coulson tried to make a final confirmation with a serious face, and at the same time took out his mobile phone to call his director.

Although the time was already past midnight, Nick Fury's precious sleep should not be disturbed under normal circumstances.

But he obviously couldn't care less at this moment.

After all, the horrific disaster caused by Dormammu, the lord of the dark dimension, during his invasion is still vivid in our minds. The global death toll from that time alone reached tens of millions, and the aftermath has not subsided yet, so that the entire SHIELD, from top to bottom, has a psychological shadow.

Now, when people mention gods and demons, they can't help but tense up.

Because compared with these horrific creatures that cannot be described in words, both the Earth civilization and human life are too fragile.

"Yes, I am quite sure of it."

As Balthazar blurted out these words, Coulson immediately pressed the dial button on the phone.

On the other side, Nick Fury, who got up from the bed in his pajamas, immediately lost all his sleepiness after listening to the report from his subordinates. He became energetic after being greatly frightened. His waist and legs no longer hurt. It took him less than fifteen minutes to rush from his home to the SHIELD headquarters building.

He doesn't look like a person who has slept no more than four hours a day for two consecutive months and whose physical fatigue has long exceeded the limit.

While he was busy formulating countermeasures, Alexander Pierce also received intelligence secretly transmitted by Sitwell.

The snake head, whose soul had been twisted into a demon by evil magic, grinned meaningfully: "Artifacts, Norse mythology, Thor's hammer, and the lost and recovered Cosmic Cube...

interesting!

It's really interesting!

Ha ha ha ha!

Who would have thought that everything the Red Skull had always dreamed of getting is now right in front of me.

There are also magic and demons from the abyss!

The world is becoming more and more wonderful! And I am the one who is destined to be the chosen one to rule the earth! Power!

I need more power!"

Along with hysterical roars, Alexander Pierce's body began to swell rapidly, and eventually transformed into a demon over three meters and five meters tall, emitting an evil and filthy aura from head to toe.

He grabbed a prisoner whose hands and feet were tied and whose mouth was sealed with tape, and threw him directly onto the devil's altar in his basement. He broke every bone in his body in a very bloody and cruel way, and finally twisted the person like a piece of clothing, letting the crushed flesh and blood and filth gush out.

The horrifying scene even made the Hydra subordinates nearby feel so sick that they almost vomited.

Only the brainwashed Winter Soldier Bucky Barnes had no reaction at all and still stood there coldly.

Needless to say, he knew that all these vicious criminals and gang members, who exuded dark red evil auras from head to toe, were captured by his team without exception.

Because only the energy squeezed out of sufficiently evil souls can allow Alexander Pierce's demon to absorb enough sin and evolve into a more powerful demon form.

Likewise, his magical abilities also grew in the process.

You have to know that in the magic training class run by SHIELD, there are only a few people who can just perform the zero-ring trick.

And this guy can already cast fourth-level spells with ease.

However, he did not follow the wizard route, but the spell-like abilities of a warlock and demonization.

More than forty people were sacrificed in one go, and the entire basement had become a purgatory-like scene.

Even the sewage pools at slaughterhouses pale in comparison.

"Clean this place up!"

Alexander Pierce gave orders to the Hydra soldiers on standby, paying no attention to the severe physical discomfort they were experiencing.

But unfortunately, these guys obviously had no choice but to put on masks and start putting the scattered meat paste, broken bones, eyeballs, kidneys, intestines and other things into sealed bags and transport them away for disposal.

In addition, the bloodstains must be washed away to ensure that no detectable traces are left.

In this regard, the new generation of Hydra from SHIELD are absolute experts.

Alexander Pierce, who had regained his human form, took Crossbones Brock Rumlow and John Garrett back to the living room on the first floor, poured a glass of wine for each of them, raised his glass and said, "To our common great cause! Cheers!"

"cheers!"

"cheers!"

…

The three of them raised their heads and drank it all in one gulp, with strange looks flashing in their eyes.

Because they all feel that they were born in the best era, an era full of danger, chaos and opportunities.

Whether it is technology or magic, there will inevitably be a period of explosive growth.

As long as it can seize the opportunity, Hydra will surely be able to stand on top of the world again.

"Brock, how do you think we should use the information sent back by Sitwell?" Alexander Pierce asked, putting down the empty wine glass in his hand.

Crossbones lowered his head and thought for a moment before answering, "I think we should send at least an elite action team to hide nearby and wait for the right moment to act. If a conflict or even a war breaks out, we will try to obtain combat information or collect some items to bring back for research."

"My opinion is exactly the opposite of yours. It's best not to move now. After all, SHIELD doesn't know about our existence yet, and we can continue to take advantage of this. If we take the risk of acting alone and expose ourselves, it will become very troublesome to deal with."

John Garrett followed suit and expressed his views.

"But that is the hammer of Thor from Norse mythology! According to Balthazar, the person who lifts it will gain the power to control storms, weather, and thunder, and even become the god of thunder himself."

Crossbones' tone became noticeably agitated.

Obviously, he was spying on the power of Thor's hammer.

Because among the three people present, he was the only one who was still an ordinary person without any super powers.

Alexander Pierce, needless to say, has acquired magical and demonic powers, and John Garrett has also undergone human body modification.

“Calm down.

I am certainly aware of how tempting the power of Thor's hammer is.

But the problem is that if you want to get it, it means facing the gods.

We are not ready for this yet.

In comparison, the lost and recovered Cosmic Cube is actually a better choice.

Don't forget, that is something that the devil can call dangerous.

Nick Fury is trying to convince the Security Council to support his further research."

After that, Alexander Pierce patted Crossbones' shoulder gently to comfort him.

"You mean to seize the Cosmic Cube?"

John Garrett looked troubled.

Because the confidentiality level of this plan was so high, even he had to work hard to get the information.

Without the corresponding professional knowledge, it would be difficult to insert the human hand.

Alexander Pierce smiled and shook his head: “No, that’s too low.

Remember General Ross's super soldier program? Put one of our guys on that list.

Then they used the power of the political circles to lobby the White House and get the military to join in under the banner of maintaining security.

If nothing unexpected happens, we'll just sit back and wait to share SHIELD's research results.

If something unexpected happens, we will seize the Cosmic Cube in the chaos."

"But I heard that Astartes' transformation surgery is very dangerous and has a very high probability of death. How can we guarantee that our people will survive?" Crossbones questioned.

"Isn't this simple? Of course, we need to prepare enough souls for him!

In Baator, you can buy almost anything with enough souls.

If we give enough benefits to the person in charge of the transformation operation, he will naturally use the power of magic to ensure that our people stay alive.

So what you have to do next is to go hunting with the demons I summoned.

The more people die, the more leverage we have.”

As he spoke, Alexander Pierce reached out his hand and gently touched the Babu Demon and the Soul Eater Demon, who were crawling on the ground like puppies to show their submission to him.

After a long period of tireless sacrifice, he has successfully summoned more than thirty demons from the Abyss.

Under normal circumstances, given the chaotic nature of demons, a riot would have already occurred when the number of demons far exceeded their control capabilities.

But under the intimidation of Igvirf's mark, all the summoned demons dared not make any unusual movements.

Because they were not sure who this half-demon, half-human guy was to the Witch Queen, and whether he was carrying out the orders or tasks she had given him.

What's more, Alexander Pierce was quite generous when treating demons. He would feed them one or two mortal souls every once in a while, and even allowed them to torture, abuse, bite and devour the living flesh of mortals.

"Understood. I'll arrange this."

Crossbones immediately put on a demon-summoning ring and turned away.

Since both the Soul Eater and the Babu Demon possess advanced teleportation abilities, he does not need to parade these terrifying creatures around the city. Instead, he can summon them out before the hunt begins.

Similar situations are nothing new to Hydra leaders in North America.

The only thing you need to pay attention to is to be careful that these demons may go crazy in the process of killing and collecting souls, and then attack indiscriminately.

There have been many unlucky people who fell under the sudden attacks of demons.

After sending Crossbones away, Alexander Pierce turned his gaze to John Garrett and asked in a tone as if he were an old friend: "How is your adopted son now?"

The latter responded with a proud look on his face: “I can only tell you that everything went well.

Grant Ward is an assistant I have carefully trained and a true genius.

He has quietly completed the collection of information on all members of the magic training class, including their personalities, weaknesses, families, friends, growth experiences, and so on.

Just one order and all Nick Fury's hard work would be wasted in an instant.

Besides, I have also handed over to him the magic you gave me intactly.

Now his learning progress has far surpassed everyone else and he has become the most outstanding rising star.

Perhaps it won't be long before my adopted son is appointed by SHIELD and becomes an authoritative expert in the field of magic and the occult."

"Very good! Don't let him get out of your control. Because in a few days, I will have a very important ceremony that requires his help."

Alexander Pierce showed a satisfied look, and then turned to the last page of the magic notebook given by Igwilfu. On it was a very complicated summoning array and a line of Abyssal Language written in blood-red ink...

(End of this chapter)
